As a medieval guy I don't care much about katanas, but I wonder, how does the Nintendo community here on VGC feel about Zelda going so heavily on open world?

Zelda was at least partly open world (hub based) in the past too, but to me it feels like Zelda has now embraced the Western open world sandbox mentality, almost like a Ubisoft game.

Personally I am very hyped about the NX, but strangely I don't feel as strongly about the new Zelda as I thought I would. What is wrong here exactly?

The impressions made on me whilst younger are NES related not super or gameboy or others that people have.  As an example I think alot of people immediately think or relate pokemon when the word Nintendo is said.  I have no such relation but this Zelda is probably close to what dreams were in my head as younger me played the NES.  I'm excited for that reason.

I do not own a wiiu but did own two wii's.  I had not owned a Nintendo system since the NES.  This game makes me want to buy an NX.  

Cool. So when you were playing the original 2D Zelda on the NES as a kid you actually saw something that was close to Zelda: Breath of the Wild in your head?

You must have had a wild imagination, but I think that makes sense.
